Upgrade StorageFalse positive duplicates detected
My Duplicate Items collection has many items that are false positives, in particular:
- the introduction of an edited volume where the title is equal or similar to that of the volume, even if the authors don't match the editors
- chapters in the same volume where the edited volume title is very long: for instance I have an edited volume with the title:
"Social inequality before farming? Multidisciplinary approaches to the study of social organization in prehistoric and ethnographic hunter-gatherer-fisher societies"
Every single chapter from that volume shows up in the duplicate collection, even though titles and authors are different. I assume because of the long title, somehow Zotero finds enough similarity to mark it as duplicate.
I know that per https://www.zotero.org/support/duplicate_detection "At this time, it is not possible to mark false positive matches as non-duplicates. This functionality will be added in the future."
It would be great if either the duplicate detection could be improved, in particular with regards to edited collections, or at least add the above functionality of marking false positives so that the duplicate collection doesn't grow super large which defeats its purpose of easily detecting and merging items.
